Protecting LGBT Youth From Psychological Abuse

Bill Number:SB 1172

UPDATE: SB 1172 was signed by Governor Jerry Brown on September 29, 2012

For decades, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people—particularly youth—have suffered psychological abuse by those who are entrusted to care for their emotional and psychological well-being. It's long past time to do everything in our power to put an end to the use of tactics that have no sound scientific basis and that cause lifelong damage.
